Management needs to be more aware in order to perform at a top level

Assistant vice president - technology

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very competitive Benefits and Vacation time. People are generally nice and easy to get along with. Generally people are helpful on the projects. Technology Systems are coming up to speed with the new technologies, but have a ways before getting there.

Cons

Management Not Trustworthy, Promotions are very limited in CA, Mortgage business is struggling. Management outside of Santa Ana is not aware of what is happening elsewhere. Many times management outside of Santa Ana would make decisions without knowledge of people or situations, causing morale problems. Working with Outsource clients was difficult as management forced situations on employees, even when it wasn't the best solutions. Clearly looking only at price and not quality of product.

Pros

Good health benefits and global presence for resume

Cons

Chaotic environment with no real direction from top management. Ingrained level of MD's and Director's who have become untouchables. Competence is not rewarded, status quo is.

Pros

- Some positions give you the opportunity to travel. Deutsche Bank has office locations in many countries across the globe. - Typical large company benefits. Medical, Dental, Vision - 3-4 weeks paid vacation, depending on position.

Cons

- You are expected to work very late hours. Not very work - life balance friendly. - Salary adjustments and promotions given once a year across the entire bank. No exceptions. - Very strict compliance department. You must move all bank, 401k, IRA, etc accounts into Deutsche Bank accounts. - Upper management spends needlessly and is not efficient at controlling costs - Not employee friendly and management is terribly inefficient. - Staff is not rewarded or given credit for hard work / Your performance is not linked to your salary
